      No. True Fallout isn't "silly" except for a few tongue in cheek and 4th wall jokes. Most of that was meant to be taken as humor, NOT canon even in the real 4 games. But anything after Chris Avellone is non canon. It's apocrypha. Take it from someone whose name is actually in credits.
      Talking about cannibalism, we hear the phrase "In the earlier games, FO3 and NV"...... LOL. Yeah, that exactly sums up what went wrong with the franchise after it was itself cannibalized and worn as a skinsuit

    One of the "nice touches" for the show is how they worked some of the perks, like bloody mess and cannibal into it, and pulled no punches about what this would look like in real life.

    Slinging bull was at one point a slang term for telling lies to continue a conversation. Thematically, the perk effects line up with this, since you'll be known as a talkative liar. Although it is much funnier to RP throwing actual bull.

    Aqua Boy.
    Did I suddenly grow gills? I mean I won't complain since no rads in water and infinite breath, but what are the implications? Am I just an offbrand aquaman? Am I actual aquaman but the mutated fish hate me? And why do I still get rads drinking the same water I'm bathing in? Seems odd. But I won't complain

    For number 2 it’s not weird that cannibalism exist in the wasteland it is weird that a vault dweller from 101 or someone who lived pre-war like in vault 111 and 76 would ever indulge in it

    Tame one here but I've always found it funny how in Fallout 4 the crit system basically makes you will your bullet into doing extra damage and not missing

    • @edmartin875
      @edmartin875 4 месяца назад +1

      IRL people have been shot in the head and survived. I see critical shots as extra accurate. Especially as I cannot "hold my breath" with the Xbox controller. It supposedly can be done, but not by me. My aimpoint is swinging in an inconsistent lopsided figure 8 and I have to wait and try to time it and fire when my sights are crossing the aimpoint. OR, I can try for a critical shot in VATS because a 32% for a VATS headshot ain't gonna cut it.

    But, if you didn't kill said Uncle, and then when you show up he's just lying there and nobody else has claimed it or anything, then you're doing the villagers A FAVOR by eating the corpse. Now, they don't have to bury it or deal with it rotting and smelling bad, and you're not going to be snooping around and trying to eat french fries off of people's plates.

    One I find weird is 'Wasteland Whisperer', found in Fallout 4 and 76. "In one easy step, you too can speak Scorpion, Crab, Lizard, Mosquito AND MORE!" Also for reasons, you need THIS to pacify Gen 1 and 2 Synths and not Robotics Expert!

    • @drivanradosivic1357
      @drivanradosivic1357 4 месяца назад

    the best time in a fallout game for me is in fallout one. I got the trait jinxed and used all my points in luck. Made for a lot of funny scenerios, and luck gave me the special encounters. A personal tradition is every fallout character I start with I put everything in luck first. I did it in fallout 2 and 76. There have been several situations in 76 that were weird encounters, and weird scenerios that scream "that was really lucky"

  • @ErosXCaos
    @ErosXCaos 4 месяца назад +4

    Several of the less practical seem tailor made for niche role playing.
    Gun Fu seems the opposite of weird. It’s trying to give a reason for higher damage.
    You’d hardly bat an eye at all the generic gun perks that increase damage with every rank. That’s a staple in games.
    Gun Fu uses martial arts as a reference to explain that increase. And the game itself performs in a way that makes it make sense. You get into a flow state, finally slowing the world down with each critical hit (the camera slows during criticals.) Your shots grow more deadly as you become more Zen. Just my 2 cents.

    Nuclear Anomaly is one:
    Your health got low so now you explode like a mini nuke and it heals you up to 20 HP and removes your radiation in the process while also damaging anyone around you.
    Bloody Mess in fallout 4 and 76 if I remember correctly gets really weird at max level, because when you kill someone and they explode into meat bits, there's a chance some of the individuals around them will also explode into meaty bit, so you can literally punch a guy so hard that not only does he explode into meaty bits but so does the guy next to him.

  • @5bars3g36
    @5bars3g36 3 месяца назад

    Re: Gun Fu quibble
    Given the lore function of VATS as "Vault-tec Assisted Targeting System" as creating firing solutions for you to use, presumably Gun Fu functions by increasing optimization of those firing solutions, resulting in increasing damage, a hypothesis further supported by the fact it turns shots at all targets after the third into automatic criticals (which can't miss unless they're physically blocked and you don't have the perk to shoot through cover) on top of the doubled damage.

  • @adamb89

    Only time I took the Cannibal perk was the first time playing Survival. But the Dark Craving addiction was WAY too obnoxious. Especially when you accidentally eat a corpse by hitting the wrong button, and boom. Dark Craving. No way to cancel the action. Even when I hit level 286 or whatever and have enough perk points to raise all the SPECIAL attributes to 10 and get every perk too, I will deliberately leave that one alone.

    I kind of get gun fix it is an intimidation thing if your buddy just got shot you might look over to check on him dropping your guard in a way but it should be if they die in combat every one else has lower armor or has a chance to flee and it goes up if you pop each guy after. Like you ambush a guy with like 6 guys and boom 1.5 seconds later half your squad is dead. Yeah might be good ideal to run.
